Also, "The Hunter"? and "Dewdrop"? Perhaps these nicknames have some meaning behind them.
Or Dark Matter is completely insane. That would also be a good explanation.

@Nashew: Ulti said Dark Matter was based on Bill Cipher so he most likely knows what he's talking about but he sounds insane to everyone else. Also with that territory comes the whole "nicknaming-them-something-relevant-to-their-part-in-the-overall-plot" thing.

@Light and Shadow: Hm, well, if that is the case, what would these nicknames sybolize for the characters?
He calls Ryka Sodapop, which makes sense.
Aika being The Hunter sounds like a Metroid Prime reference, which is fitting considering how boss Aika is.
But Dewdrop? I have no clue what that would symbolize for Wake.

@Nashew: Several people, including me, have a theory that Wake is actually a Droppy, an enemy from Kirby and the Amazing Mirror that has the ability to steal Kirby's ability and use it to transform into the enemy that gives the ability.

Given how Wiz, another character from Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is in the comic, it seems likely.
